Gah-Kai (pronounced 'GAR-kay') is a PhD candidate in political theory at Warwick. His thesis concerns the normative issues in mitigating the risk of catastrophic tsunami-generating earthquakes. Much of this research is interdisciplinary, and intersects with seismology, tsunami science and various disciplines around the built environment (such as urban geography, city planning and earthquake engineering).
His interests cover most areas of social, legal and political philosophy. Aside from his doctoral research, he is writing book chapters on bureaucracy and structural injustice and on popular culture and business ethics. Some of his work on body image and appearance norms is now out in Taylor Swift & Philosophy. He has also written on a range of topics in bioethics and environmental ethics.
He has been involved in various kinds of engagement activities, including writing for civil society bodies and giving outreach talks on the social dimensions of earth hazards.
He is a self-confessed roller coaster addict. To date, he has ridden 154 coasters in his spare time; his current favourite is Leviathan at Canada's Wonderland. You can ask him about his thoughts on roller coasters as an art form.
